  1. A hollow enclosure is formed between two inf initely long concentric cylinders of radii 1 m and 2 m, respectively. Radiative heat exchange takes place between the inner surface of the larger cylinder (surface-2) and the outer surface of the smaller cylinder (surface-1). The radiating surface are diffuse and the medium in the enclosure is non- participating. The fraction of the thermal radiation leaving the larger surface and striking itself is
    1. 0.25
    2. 0.5
    3. 0.75
    4. 1
Correct Option: B

F11 + F12 = 1
F21 + F22 = 1
F11 = 0 due to concave surface
F12 = 1 Now
A1 F12 = A2 F21
⇒ F21 = F12 A1/A2
⇒ F12 = 1

∴ F21 =
A1

1
A22πr2lr22

F21 = 0.5
F22 = 1 – F21 = 0.5
